Three Flowers

Tres Flores

To three flowers that I saw in the gardensA tres flores que vi en los jardines
I kissed their little mouthsA las tres les bese su boquita
Lily, Poppy, and RoseAzucena, Amapola y Rosita
Are my life, my love, and my beingSon mi vida mi amor y mi ser

To three flowers that I saw in the gardensA tres flores que vi en los jardines
One of them is called RoseUna de ellas se llama Rosita
That love only God can take awayEse amor solo Dios me lo quita
God bless your name, womanDios bendiga tu nombre mujer

To three flowers that I saw in the gardensA tres flores que vi en los jardines
One of them is called LilyUna de ellas se llama Azucena
You are beautiful, pure, and goodEres linda eres pura eres buena
Your name is precious, womanEs precioso tu nombre mujer

To three flowers that I saw in the gardensA tres flores que vi en los jardines
One of them is called PoppyUna de ellas se llama Amapola
I saw her crying all aloneYo la vi que lloraba muy sola
And I spoke to her with tenderness and loveY le hable con ternura y amor

Close, close those eyes for GodCierren cierren por Dios esos ojos
And do not look at me with them againY no vuelvan con ellos a mirarme
If one day you stopped loving meSi algún día dejaran de amarme
I would die of sorrow and painMoriria de pena y dolor
